osinrneearon-LIKE DEVICE non rualrir'ivs, comme, aan ,amino Gases.

To all fl/atom 'it may concern l le it known that l. Hass llnnann TinnssN, a citizen ot the United States of America. residing at ,lllisahethstrasse B-l, Munich, Bavaria, in the linpire ot (lerinany, have invented a new a d useful Disintegrator- Lilie Device Vt'or Turitying, Cooling, and lilixing Gases, ot which the following is a sperilication.

The present invention relates to a disin tec'rator-lilre device for purifying,` cooling and inixinl,Y gases and consists in forming the statimiary and rotating-or oppositely moving disintegratorsurtaces like the guidinn' and tra veline' hladeso't turhinesand arranging' the saine at such an angle in relation to each other that the gasand waternixlnre may he passed practically tree of shocks Vlronn the tra veling disintegrator-sur- 'laces to those which are either stationary or nxovingr in an opposite direction.

ln order to render the present invention more easily intelligible reference is had to the accompanying drawings.

Figure l illustrates .the known forni of mnl'iodin'unit, havingradially arranged disintegri'ator-surfaces, while Fig. 2 shows a i'orni of einliodiincnty according to the present invention, in which the turbine like disl interater-surfaces are shown diaraininatically in cross section. Figs. il to 9 illustrate 'various modifications ot' turbine-disintegratcrs.

ln the Jtorni of embodiment shown in Fi". l, the and water-Inixture is forced, as may, for instance, be seen from the diagram, against stationary battle-plates 'at an angle o, this angle resulting from the outlet-speed (L and'circumferential speed l). As a result the gas and water-mixture leaves the traveling disintegrator-plates or blades, and enthe stationary blades or disintegratorsnrliaces with a relatively great loss of power, caused hy the shocks.

vFrom the diagram he seen that with a slanting or turbine-like arrangement; of the blades, at a relative outletspeed a of the gasand Water-mixture :trein the traveling disix'itegrator blades 79, and a circi'initerential speed ot the latter, the stationary disintegratorbladcs fr are arrar ,d at an angle, which results from the Consequently in this case lthe mixture yis passed well free of shocks, so that losses are prevented and power is saved. TWhen choosing such an speciaation of Leners raient.

shown in Fig@ it may4 einbodin'ient of a. disntegrahr-lilre device vfor washing'. purifying and coc-llingr gases. the gas and. water-mixture is always guided along' the traveling and .stationaryv disintegrator hlades and. therefore. owing to the slx( el -'t'1'ee passage each tiii'liine,-hliu'ie acts, so to say. in itself as a siuall washinghsur fare. Non'. as any los-y ol power due to shocks. is ohviated and the nasand waterinixture passes troni om` hlade to the other tluoretirally tree ot shocks the washing coolingror mixing' actions are performed with a inininuun ol power expenditure.

For the outlet-speed ol the gasand water mixture the component torce. generated by the revolving disintenrator-hlados is to be lconsidered. to which.in such gras washers,.

colliined with a ventilator, the component torce l Ienerated hy the. ventilator, must be added. provided the `nas and the water pass through the disintegratoi and ventilator in the saine direction: or the Component force inust he subtracted. provided the gas passes through the disintegrator in a direction opposite to that ol the washingr water.

AccordinglV` to the niodilication shown in Fig. 3 the turhine-disintegrator is arranged wit-hin a ventilator l', in such a manner that the lgfasand water mixture passes through the turbine. disintegrator in the saine dircc tion.V

The modification according to Fie'. 4 shows the disintegrator arranged laterally of the ventilator a and the water is thrown in at m, in such a manner that a. part o the -water flows through the disintegrator 'from' inside to outside in the direction of the ar row e. in a direction opposite to that of the gas sucked in from outside to inside in the direction of the arrow 2.

Fig'. 5, on the lett hand side, is a section on the line AFB of Fig. 3, and on 'the right hand side a section on the line .l-ll of Fig'. 4 and shows details of a 'form oit embodying the tnrhine-disintcgrator surfaces.

ln Fig.' 6 a modification of the 'tn rhine-L ldisintegrator is shown. through which 'the gas is sucked vtrom inside to outside or vice versa, through a separately arranged ven! tilator, as is diagrainlnatically shown, -iorj instance,` in Fig. 'l'. The water is introduced througli a, pipe n.

Fig. 8 illustrates another enihodinient, in which the turhine-disintegrator-hlades are driven in opposite directions by means of two pulleys g1, g. The gas may enter at if' manna aan@ eo., riale.

in the direction of the arrows and escape at s the water being previously injected in or 'which on the outside, and around the same,

' additional ventilator blades t and, laterally of the same, a ventilator u are arranged in such a manner, that'the gas passes through the purifier 1n thel direction of the -ar1ows,`so that the greatest part of the impurities carried along, especially' tar, are

deposited upon the slanting washing surface fw and led off through a gutter w.

The modification just described is espelcially useful in connection with small' gas purifiers.

The turbine disintegrator blades may be made in any desired manner; so, for instance., the traveling disintegrator surfaces may be made of angle-irons, the radially 'outwardly extending legs, of which (Fig.

2) may be bent and curved like `a. turbine blade. Also slantingly positioned fiat iron pieces may be used as traveling disintegrator surfaces, as is shown in Fig. -5 by wayof example. 4

It is also advantageous, in connection with the present invention, to cast the disintegratoror turbine-blades into single disks Gr', G2 (Figs. 3 and 4) or attach them to the same and to arrange the disks G2 in the ventilator casing in such a manner, that, in case the ventilator casing consists of two parts, the ventilator-wheel and the -disintegrator may be lifted from the same, without.'necessitating the casing portions to he moved laterally one from another.

As may be seen from F ig. 3 thc outer parts of the disks G Gg may be broader and stronger than their inner parts so that the diameter of the disintegrator otherwise increasing gradually toward the outside, may he decreased according to need.

It may also he noted that the ventilator may entirely he dispensed with in cases where the gas to he purified is fed to the disintegrator with suicient pressure.

I claim as my invention 1.- In a machine for the purpose set forth a casing, and sets of opposed halles therein, the batlies of one set being inclined relatively to the hallles of an adjacent set wherehy a mixture of gas and water may pass without appreciable shock from one Set of bailies to another.

2. In -a machine for the purpose set forth, a casing and a plurality of sets of battles therein, the bales of one set being inclined in one direction and the baliies of another `set being inclined in an opposite direction.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature 1n the presence ot twowitnesses.
